Remove the ram/memory & clean. Clean the contacts with an pencil eraser & try it again. May need cleaning or reseating. If multi sticks, try just one stick to test.

When you clean the RAM sticks - as per Johns's advice - remember to wipe the edge connectors clean with a soft/lintless cloth to (so as to remove any particles from the eraser application) before re-inserting them. And re-insert and remove each stick a few times (about three times) to help clean the onboard socket contacts too. A soft kleenex type tissue will do if a soft lintless cloth isn't available to wipe the edgec conectors after cleaning. message edited by trvlr

The symptoms sound like a badly dirt clogged cooling track, vents, or fan (or all three) so clean as recommended above. You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

It seems more to be a heating/venting problem because I can not hear any beeps and it doesn't make any difference if a SIMM is in the slot or not. Moreover having a quick glimpse to the heat pipe I discovered that the silicone on the CPU is petrified and the pipe is dead cold. So I will try to take everything out until I get into the fan....It just seems like a lot of work....

Reseated the processor, put new grease, no dust clogs, still same problem: Turns off before POST. I even put a diagnostics card, reads one 0. Ready to recycle..Any hopes?
